For me it's more important that I outline all the facets of a controversial issue and let the reader make up his or her mind. I don't care if readers change their minds, but I would like readers to ask themselves why their opinion is what it is.

Jodi Picoult 1091 quotes

I feel I'm able to get rid of ...

I feel I'm able to get rid of any demons lurking in my psyche through my writing, which leaves me free to create all of this and to enjoy our family life, stepping away from all the fictional traumas and the dramas. If I write about family in crisis, then I won't have to live through it, I guess.

Jodi Picoult 1091 quotes

I had absolutely no trauma in ...

I had absolutely no trauma in my childhood. If anyone ever assumed that my books were autobiographical, they'd be sorely disappointed, because none of these things happened to me.

Jodi Picoult 1091 quotes

I know that books I have writt...

I know that books I have written will still resonate in 50 years - particularly 'My Sister's Keeper.' It has sold three million copies in the States alone. I strongly feel that, as a novelist, you have a platform and the ability to change people's minds.

Jodi Picoult 1091 quotes

I think the 'New York Times' r...

I think the 'New York Times' reviews overall tend to overlook popular fiction, whether you're a man, woman, white, black, purple or pink. I think there are a lot of readers who would like to see reviews that belong in the range of commercial fiction.

I was one of the first authors to have an active website. I'm totally obsessed with technology. I'm always looking for ways to connect with my readers. I answer all my fan mail.

Jodi Picoult 1091 quotes

If you read a book that's fict...

If you read a book that's fiction and you get caught in the characters and the plot, and swept away, really, by the fiction of it - by the non-reality - you sometimes wind up changing your reality as well. Often, when the last page is turned, it will haunt you.

Jodi Picoult 1091 quotes

If you read the first page of ...

If you read the first page of one of my novels, I can guarantee that you will read the last one. This isn't just social commentary. This is also about writing good page-turners. I want people to keep reading.

Jodi Picoult 1091 quotes

It's a fallacy that writers ha...

It's a fallacy that writers have to shut themselves up in their ivory towers to write. I have all these interruptions, three of which I gave birth to. If I was thrown for a loop every time I was distracted I could never get anything done.

Jodi Picoult 1091 quotes

If you want to see God laugh, ...

If you want to see God laugh, make a plan.

Jodi Picoult 1091 quotes

Normal, in our house, is like ...

Normal, in our house, is like a blanket too short for a bed--sometimes it covers you just fine, and other times it leaves you cold and shaking; and worst of all, you never know which of the two it's going to be.

There are some dreams that get stuck between your teeth when you sleep, so that when you open your mouth to yawn awake they fly right out of you.

Jodi Picoult 1091 quotes

See, as much as you want to ho...

See, as much as you want to hold on to the bitter sore memory that someone has left this world, you are still in it

Jodi Picoult 1091 quotes

You don't love someone because...

You don't love someone because they're perfect, you love them in spite of the fact that they're not.

Jodi Picoult 1091 quotes

And the very act of living is ...

And the very act of living is a tide; at first it seems to make no difference at all, and then one day you look down and see how much pain has eroded

Jodi Picoult 1091 quotes

Do you know how sometimes - wh...

Do you know how sometimes - when you are riding your bike and you start skidding across sand, or when you miss a step and start tumbling down the stairs - you have those long, long seconds to know that you are going to be hurt, and badly?

Jodi Picoult 1091 quotes

It's about a girl who is on the cusp of becoming someone.. A girl who may not know what she wants right now, and she may not know who she is right now, but who deserves the chance to find out.

Jodi Picoult 1091 quotes

Sometimes there aren't words. ...

Sometimes there aren't words. The silence between us is flung wide as an ocean. But I manage to reach across it, to wrap my arms around him.

Jodi Picoult 1091 quotes

My mother... she is beautiful,...

My mother... she is beautiful, softened at the edges and tempered with a spine of steel. I want to grow old and be like her.

Jodi Picoult 1091 quotes

What I really want to tell him...

What I really want to tell him is to pick up that baby of his and hold her tight, to set the moon on the edge of her crib and to hang her name up in the stars.
